This night, Bai Yiyan had a rare insomnia. I haven't seen Bai Qingyun for nearly five months, and the feeling of reuniting after a long absence made Bai Yiyan laugh secretly in the quilt and cry secretly for a while. Bai Qingyun and her past kept spinning in her mind like a marquee.

When he was young, he took her to play and gave her all the good things. Older, she is naughty and mischievous, and he carries it for her when she gets into trouble. She can play with anyone, but as the little demon star of Bai Yuguan, she has to find him as a helper every time she loses a fight, and she never refuses to suffer.

He secretly took her out hunting, he wanted to hunt a white fox for her, she preferred to live and play, and he agreed. also laughed at her for slipping her head like a fox on weekdays, and if she raised another one, she would be even more good at jumping chickens and dogs at home. When the white fox arrived home, it was always lazy and often lay in the nest, so she called it lazy. However, he said that it was very similar to her name, and instead gave her the nickname Ahri.

She didn't like to teach her master, and she refused to practice words honestly, and her mother was angry and wanted to beat her. He accompanied her to write and teach her to play chess. She wants to learn archery and martial arts, and her mother's hesitation will affect her boudoir image, and it is he who convinces her mother for her. It's a pity that she is not the material for martial arts, and her martial arts are always mediocre. So he let his master personally palm his eyes, picked the two good muscles of Biluan and Bi Kite, and begged the master to teach them, only hoping that someone who is skilled in martial arts can be by her side and protect her at any time.

When she was nine years old, she went missing on a horseback by herself, which frightened the whole family, and only he guessed the direction in which she might go, and was the first to find her and save her back.

He began to follow Dingyuan Hou to the military camp for training, and he couldn't accompany her all the time. She was also clamoring to enter the barracks. Dingyuanhou had no choice, so he took her and Biluan Bi Kite, and under the eyes of others, let them also practice for a small time every day. She overheard someone laughing at him in the barracks, and she rushed up like a leopard and punched and kicked him. Dingyuan Hou was angry, so he took her home and punished her for kneeling, and when he knew it, he rushed back from the barracks to kneel with her.

Later, she insisted on going to the front line to see, and the Marquis of Dingyuan scolded her for messing around, and it was he who persuaded her father to give her a chance to try. That time, she had a chance to kill the enemy's scout, but her hand trembled and she couldn't shoot the arrow, and in the end he did it for her. He knew that she wanted to win, but she couldn't bear to hurt someone's life, and she didn't want blood on her hands, so he would do it.

He's older, she's older, and there's less time to spend together. He is now an unsurpassed young general in Dayong, and he is the best candidate to lead the Northwest Army in addition to the Marquis of Dingyuan. His cold temperament made the army respect and fear this famous general, but every time he saw her, he had a gentle face. As long as he was at home, she stuck to her like a little tail, and he always smiled at her dotingly, never refusing.

But when did he discover that he had a different mind for him?

Was it when his mother wanted to kiss him last year, but he refused? She couldn't remember why she had gone to her mother's yard that day, but there was no one outside the house, only him kneeling in the hall with his body straight. She hid in the rose bush under the window and eavesdropped on what he had done, trying to find out why and then intercede for him. As a result, he heard his mother ask him why he had refused to marry for more than a year, could it be that there was no one in the entire Yonghua City and Baiyuguan that he was willing to take a look at. He only said that he didn't want to marry a wife, and he refused to say why. His mother was anxious and angry, and kept asking him what he wanted. He carried it for a long time, and finally said that he only wanted to guard her. His mother slapped him for the first time, scolding him for being delusional, and even ignoring humanity. His identity doomed him to never be with her. He quietly endured his mother's beatings, refused to bow his head, refused to admit his mistakes, and knelt without saying a word. His mother could not, but warned him that if he missed the slightest thought, he would never see her again. At that moment she saw that his shoulder had collapsed visibly, and after a long time he nodded in agreement. And she was hiding in the rose bush, but she had already burst into tears.

Maybe it wasn't that time, it was the time when I returned to the imperial capital two years ago? She heard the third brother and the fourth sister complaining near the rockery of the Hou Mansion that the future of Dingyuan Hou should not be inherited by a wild seed who is not the Bai family at all, and the second uncle is in business, and it should fall into the third uncle's lineage, and it was his appearance that messed up everything. She had heard this before, but it was particularly hurtful to say it from her own brothers and sisters. When the two left, she found him standing alone on the other side of the flower wall. She cried for him, but he smiled wryly and said that he would rather not be her brother.

Or was it earlier? Was it the first time you cooked for yourself? The unpalatable dishes made Biluan and Bi Kite run away with a smile, only he ate a bite at a time, and said that as long as she made it, it was good.

She still remembered his reaction when she first deliberately called him Brother Qingyun instead of just his brother. There was a different kind of sparkle in his eyes, reflecting her shadow, and her heart pounding. Since then, she has changed her name. Perhaps, from that time?

Bai Yiyan couldn't tell the difference, she remembered his goodness, but when she didn't return him, she couldn't even tell him her heart. Bai Yiyan thought about it like this and cried again.

At this time, in the prince's mansion, Zhao Wanyao also couldn't sleep. Zhao Wanyao has been married to Yuwen Moyuan for nearly seven years. Thinking back then, on the side of Zhao Guogong's study, his appearance of the jade tree in the wind still made her heart move. She married him as she wished and became the second princess, and for seven years, he respected her more than enough, but he didn't have a little favor, especially after becoming the prince, he became more and more vigorous, and he seemed to be farther away from her. He rarely entered her room, but fortunately he rarely went to the other concubines. She couldn't give birth to a son, so she could only watch that the slut of the Wang family had Yuwen Moyuan's concubine first. However, Yuwen Moyuan did not ask for the child's seal, so Zhao Wanyao decided that Yuwen Moyuan must still be waiting for the sister-in-law who came out of his belly, which shows that he has her in his heart, and thinking of this made Zhao Wanyao feel a burst of happiness.

But today's scene in the study made Zhao Wanyao feel a little uneasy.

Yuwen Moyuan didn't like her to enter his study, Zhao Wanyao knew it. But Yuwen Moyuan hadn't been in her room for more than a month, so she had to take a supper tonight, trying to see if she could intercept him in the study. When he entered, Yuwen Moyuan was not in the study. Zhao Wanyao put the supper on the bookcase and saw a half-open picture scroll next to it. She casually opened it and found that the painting was a woman in red dancing with a sword, and her agile figure seemed to be about to break through the paper. There is also an inscription in the lower left corner of the painting:

Cheng Yun recommends color, Yu Ri Huahua

Although Zhao Wanyao had never seen Yuwen Moyuan's paintings, she knew his characters. The inscription on this painting is clearly Yuwen Moyuan's. Take a closer look at the appearance of the woman on the painting, it is the woman who was rescued by Yuwen Moyuan in the racecourse that day: Bai Yiyan, the daughter of the Marquis of Dingyuan!

Zhao Wanyao was shocked and angry in her heart, Yuwen Moyuan had never ordered someone to paint a portrait of the female dependents in the prince's mansion, and there had never been a portrait of a woman in Yuwen Moyuan's study. She thought about it carefully, and felt a little puzzled, Bai Yiyan was the princess of Xiling who had not passed through the door to marry in the emperor's own marriage, which was a fact that could not be changed. How could the prince think so badly about his younger siblings?

Zhao Wanyao was thinking wildly, when she suddenly heard an unhappy voice: "What are you doing in the study?" Her frightened hand shook and she dropped the painting on the ground. Yuwen Moyuan strode in from the door, picked up the painting first, and quickly rolled it up. Asked her again: "Lone asked you just now, what are you doing in Lone's study?" Zhao Wanyao came back to her senses and replied, "The concubine is here to send supper to His Royal Highness." Thinking that His Royal Highness has been busy in the study recently, and I heard that the food is not very good, the concubine is worried about His Highness's body. Yuwen Moyuan said with a smile: "It's really Princess Lao's concern." But you shouldn't need to check the lonely things to deliver supper, right? Zhao Wanyao hurriedly explained: "The concubine just saw this painting on the table, thinking it was a new work by His Royal Highness, and wanted to admire it, but accidentally fell to the ground." It's getting late, why don't you have some supper and rest early? Yuwen Moyuan rubbed the scroll, softened his attitude and said, "Lone knows, just put it here for supper, it's hard for the princess." You go back and rest first, Lone still has some things to deal with. ”

Zhao Wanyao hesitated for a moment, looking at Yuwen Moyuan's unrefusable appearance, so she had to walk out disappointed, but heard Yuwen Moyuan's words of explanation float over gently: "This painting belongs to the sixth brother, ask me to inscribe a word." She hurriedly turned around and found that Yuwen Moyuan had already crouched on the desk and was writing, and did not look up at her.
